Awe that was so sweet Tom learning to share his twin and Gustav being protective.

Exactly right! And guess what? I'm working on a part three, now, too! <3 <3

Thank you <333 I'm glad you liked it!!

I read this and it's prequel and they were both really adorable. x3
I normally don't read this pairing, but you made me like it [for this story].
Oh and I thought it was so sweet how you mentioned that Bill had two more big brothers now, cause I think that's kind how it is. x]
It's like all four of them are brothers. x]

This was really great. :D

*blushes happily* I'm so glad you liked them both! This pairing needs more love, def, maybe I'll work on converting you! *laughs evilly*

I always thought of it that way, you know, seeing as how the twins were so young when they started, and with Bill being the youngest, it seems it would have been so easy for Gustav and Georg to fill that role for Bill as well.

Sorry for the late showing of gratitude, but I appreciate that you read and enjoyed this, thank you so much <333

I'm so glad Laura told me about this because I apparently missed scrolling through fics the day you submitted this!

I don't think your ending was weak at all! I think it completely fit the tone of the story and worked out just perfectly. You trusted your characters to tell you where the end should be and they did, very well.

I really liked your characterizations of the guys, especially in portraying the bond between the twins and the clinginess/jealousy that Tom feels when someone else takes over just a tiny part of responsibility for Bill. But the best part of the story for me was the lovely, calm and comforting feeling between Bill and Gustav. You write their relationship so very well. This was just a wonderful story, overall, and I'm very glad I got to read it. :D

Hey, you read it! This has been like, the best night ever, hahaha! Your review made me smile, as usual. You know, I think I might like this even more than Always Been, it just feels way more...I don't know...intimate, maybe? Not so fluffy-happy-happy, or something. Like, its more serious? Don't really know how to say it, but its something like that.

I was thinking, though, about doing one from each of their points of view, you know? Always Been was sort of Gustav's, and this was Tom's...Like, I wonder what Georg would think? I'm not very good at Georg-interpretating, I dunno, I'll see where it goes.

Awww. Now, see, I think that was wonderful. I can totally see Tom having jealousy issues any time Bill gets close to someone else. Bill's far more open than Tom is, and I highly suspect it's easier for Bill to make friends than it is for Tom. So I can really see this being the way things played out with adding the G's to the twins insular little world. You did a really good job of conveying that, and I liked seeing this sequel to one of my favorite Gustav/Bill fics. :D

Author's Response:

*squeaks and blushes* Well, it always seems like people can forget that the twins are equally clingy and stuff...and Bill does seem like he makes friends easier, because he's so charming and charismatic, but people can't look past his odd looks and the like. Tom to me feels like he's not one for fast-paced changing and stuff like that, he's the more down-to-earth twin...

Oh goodness, your review has turned me into a pile of mush <3333 Thank you soooo much!!!!
